I mean, you know Cambridge have a typical 1 space for every 5 applicants, any idea what Oxford's stats on that are after the candidates have been shortlisted? Are they similar or does Oxford have more people per place post selection?

Their website says:
Interviewed: 28%
Successful: 10%
So about 3 interviewees per place

It doesn't make much difference from year-to-year.

I'm not clear if you are an applicant, or considering being an applicant. (Sorry if you've mentioned this already.)

Yeah, it's fine, I'm considering being an applicant and after going through the previous threads, I saw several comments on how it's equally as hard to get into both, but I thought otherwise, so tried making this thread which kinda escalated haha!

Do you hold, or still awaiting, offers from other medschools?

If so, take up one of those offers. There's no point rejecting offers and then applying to Oxbridge. There's no guarantee Oxbridge will make an offer, and a high risk you'll end up with no offers at all.

Noooo I mean I am still a year 12 student in aims of applying to Oxbridge!

(Also if I was in that position I would defo take the offer I have, wouldn't risk it again )

Ok... but what's this about then?

I had my interview today and honestly I don't know how it has gone. My interviewers gave no expression nor did they react to anything I said, I am not sure if this is an indication of whether I did bad or if they just cannot say anything?

That's my sister, this is her account I've kinda taken over after she's gotten into medical school this year

I am kinda wanting to follow her steps but feel like I can push myself into applying for a couple of BMAT unis while she played safe with all UKCAT, so there's an update on that, interviews really can't tell much and even at unis like Southampton it seems!

Ah! ok

So, *you* aren't a statistic. And you aren't your sister
You are you. Don't overthink admissions stats. (And you should have your own TSR account )

Apply to medschools *you* like. If you prefer the course at Oxford, apply there. If you prefer Cambridge, apply there. And you can sit BMAT earlier so that can help you decide if you want to go for 1 or 2 BMAT universities (although Oxford doesn't accept the September sitting).
